Thank you for sharing your gorgeous photos with us, thoroughly enjoying your review!

Love the penguin pics, and baby chicks is there anything cuter?  What made this #3 on your list?  Was it the tour or the getting there?

 

The food on your ship looks delicious, or I am just really hungry with no lunch.

 

Another amazing glacier, even with the fog.

We do love seeing the penguins and chicks . Part of it was getting there and that it could be organized better . At our other stops we had a greater variety and closer encounters for a longer time and with fewer people . We do enjoy the food on cruises and thought that HAL did a great job .

As awesome as the glaciers are, it is the wake patterns in the water that I find most mesmerizing.

Here's another mesmerizing video :

Be aware that next summer season [20/21] will probably be Zaandam & other large cruise ships last in the Antarctic area south of  60 deg. South - due to new Ice Class rules that are now in force.

The new rules come fully into effect on 1st January 2022, but most vessels certificates will run out before then & this stops them operating right up to the deadline.

The same applies to Greenland as it is north of 60N, but Iceland & Norwegian coast are exempt due to Gulf Stream.

Thank you for the video of the wake pattern. Stunning.

We  took some stills also

 





 

 

 

With the bird still visible in the lower right corner , I observed some strange colors and shapes in the water

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zooming in I really enjoyed what the wake was doing to the shape and texture of the water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was like a visual paradox

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forward to Ushuaia !

 

 

 

 

 

 

One last video clip of this amazing scenery !!!

 

 

 

Warning !! This clip is hypnotic and almost doesn't seem real , but it is !! 😉

Coming into Ushuaia it was quite breezy but a few boats were out

 

 

 

 

Pilot boat 

 

 

 

Quite different than our last visit  in 2013

 

 

The call was made by the Captain to bypass Ushuaia

Since we didn't land in Ushuaia and we don't have new photos from there , we will use the 2013 photos for Ushuaia .
